“de ervaring van de onderwater wereld en het snorkelen was fantastisch. ook de gids die er voor zorgde dat we van en naar het hotel kwamen was erg aardig wat beter kon; het wordt echt uitgemolken door overal extra geld voor te vragen. enkel de betaalde drankjes worden geserveerd, bij bestellen inclusieve drank wordt deze niet gebracht. ook het bedrag dat ze vragen voor de foto's die gemaakt worden is absurd”
